NEXTEL Wireless Mobile Phone Etiquette

Use your Nextel phone like a polite pro and set an example for others with these helpful guidelines.

1. Respect the people around you by using discretion when you make or take calls in public. You can also be courteous to the people with you by asking their permission to make or take a call.

2. If you need to make or take a call while in a meeting or at a restaurant or theater, leave the room. Be aware of the fact that, depending on where you are and even who you're with, some people may view your conversation as an intrusion.

3. Use your phone's VibraCall® feature in public places, such as business meetings, schools, restaurants, theaters or sporting events. If you're expecting a call, get an aisle seat near an exit to minimize interruptions.

4. Let incoming calls roll over to Voice Mail when it's inappropriate to take a call, for example while you're in a meeting or at a performance. In some instances, turning your phone off may be the best solution.

5. Use Two-Way Messaging to send and receive messages without saying a single word.

6. When using Direct ConnectSM service, send the person you're trying to reach a Call Alert before starting to speak. If you're around other people, turn off your phone's external speaker to minimize any disturbance and to respect your contact's privacy.

7. Keep your conversations quiet and brief.

8. Be a Good Samaritan and use your cell phone to help others. More than 100,000 calls a day are made to 911 and other emergency numbers by mobile phone users who report crimes and potentially life-threatening emergencies.

9. Follow the rules about wireless phone use. Some places, such as hospitals or airplanes, restrict or prohibit the use of mobile phones, so adhere to posted signs and instructions. Some jurisdictions may also restrict mobile phone use in public places.

10. Discuss cell phone manners with friends and family members. Tell them that you are practicing new wireless phone etiquette rules and offer to share them.
